Heaven_Imperial

Asher was born a nameless orphan in the slums, surviving on scraps until a fateful encounter with the mysterious Shadow Court—an underground network of assassins and spies who rule the kingdom from the shadows. Trained to be a weapon, Asher rises through the ranks, earning the title of “The Shadow King,” a figure who is feared yet unseen.

When King Alaric, the young and charismatic ruler of the kingdom, discovers the Shadow Court’s influence, he makes a daring proposition: instead of killing him, Asher will serve as his personal bodyguard and spy within the court, bound by a deadly oath.

What begins as a game of manipulation and power turns into a battle of hearts. Alaric’s idealism clashes with Asher’s ruthless pragmatism, yet their undeniable attraction grows in the midst of assassination attempts, betrayal, and looming war.

But the Shadow Court does not forgive traitors, and Asher’s past may destroy the fragile bond forming between them. Will Asher protect the king he’s sworn to kill—or will his loyalty to the shadows consume them both?
